Valhalla (formerly Necrophia and Phobia) began their career in 1989. In Norse mythology, Valhalla is a majestic, enormous hall located in Asgard, ruled over by the god Odin. The sound of the band is very close to a mix of Krisiun and early Sepultura. For being female vocals, they are very brutal and dark, almost guttural grunts. Instrumentally it’s a mid-paced groove with great guitar parts which at times sounds black metal inspired.

This is their fifth album, Recorded in late 1996 and released in February 1997, the album was favored by critics yet dismissed by many earlier fans of the band. Bassist Jennifer Finch left the band during the recording, and was briefly replaced by Greta Brinkman. Bass on the album was performed by Brinkman and the band's frontwoman Donita Sparks.

This is their fourth album, released in July 1994 during their Lollapalooza tour. The title is taken from a personal ad that was seen by one of the bandmembers shortly before the album was released. Musically the album is heavier than the band's previous work, marking the culmination of their progression from a largely punk to metal sound. Lyrically the songs concern "darker" themes; for example stalking on "Can I Run", and depression and insanity on "Questioning My Sanity".

This is their third album, released in April 1992 through Slash Records. By late August, the album had reached #1 on Billboard's Heatseekers album chart, and two weeks later it peaked at #160 on the Billboard 200. Musically the album is heavier and dirtier than the band's previous recordings. While the band retained its punk and hardcore punk roots, there was more emphasis on heavy metal than before. It was produced by Butch Vig.

This is their second album, released on Sub Pop. It was initially released in September 1990 as a 12" EP containing only the first six songs. It was reissued on CD in July 1991, expanded to album length with three more tracks: "Packin' a Rod", "Just Like Me", and "American Society". The opening song, "Shove", was released as the band's first single.

L7 is the eponymous debut album by Los Angeles band L7. Recorded in 1987 and released in 1988 on Epitaph Records, the album demonstrates the band's punk rock origins, although there are traces of the heavier grunge sound that would dominate their later work.

The band was formed in 1985 by Donita Sparks and Suzi Gardner, who were later joined by Jennifer Finch and Dee Plakas. They signed to Epitaph Records for their first album and to Sub Pop in 1989. The name is taken from a slang phrase from the 1950s which means “square,” but is often mistaken for a reference to a sex position, also called “69”. In 1991 the band formed Rock For Choice, a Pro-Choice women’s rights group which was supported by other bands of that era, including Nirvana, Mudhoney, Pearl Jam, 7 Year Bitch. Rock for Choice still exists. The band gained a certain amount of notoriety for their performance at the 1992 Reading Festival, when Donita Sparks removed her tampon on-stage and threw it into the crowd in protest against the missiles being thrown by the crowd. In the UK, the band are most famous for an appearance on the popular late-night entertainment programme The Word, in which Sparks pulled her pants down to reveal her pubic area. During a live show in London in 2000, the band offered a one night stand with Dee Plakas as a raffle prize, although it is unclear as to whether this was a genuine offer or not. According to the band’s website, “L7 are on an indefinite hiatus. We know that’s vague, but that’s just the way it is. The future of the band is a bit up in the air at the moment.”

This is their first LP, released in 1998 on Black Lotus Records. Aggressive riffs, melodic passages and dark, conceptual lyrical focus on paganism and a unique style.

This is their first full-length album, released in 1994 on Grand Royal. The album spawned three minor hits with "CitySong (NY State Of The World)," "Deep Shag" and "Here", the latter featured in the Alicia Silverstone film Clueless. In addition, all three singles had music videos which could be seen on MTV.

This is their second full-length album, released on the Grand Royal label in 1996 (produced by Daniel Lanois). This album is most well-known for the track "Naked Eye," which enjoyed some success in the Top 40. In mid-1997, Fever In Fever Out was certified gold.

The most famous and prolific of the female extreme metal bands, Astarte, started off as a trio called Lloth. It was born in September 1995 and initially formed by Tristessa, who will be the core and Astarte’s only permanent member since then, Nemesis on guitar, Kinthia and Psychoslaughter as a session drummer (as in many “all-female” bands). In May 1997 they began recording a demo called “Dancing In The Dark Lakes Of Evil”, under the name of LLoth. In 1998 they changed the name from Lloth to Astarte, and signed for the greek label Black Lotus. After participating in a Celtic Frost tribute album with the track “Sorrows Of The Moon”, Astarte splits up letting Tristessa as the sole bearer of the band. The vocalist/bassist brings two more instrumentalists, Katharsis (keyboards) and Hybris (guitars), to keep the Astarte flame alive.

Luscious Jackson formed in 1991. They are named after the American basketball player Lucious Jackson. The original band consisted of Jill Cunniff (vocals, bass), Gabby Glaser (vocals, guitar), Kate Schellenbach (drums) and Vivian Trimble (keyboards, vocals). The band played nearly every instrument heard on their records, and with the exception of a few non-LP cover songs wrote all of their own material, the majority penned by vocalists Jill Cunniff and/or Gabby Glaser. Vivian Trimble left the group in 1998, and in 2000 (after releasing one album as a trio) the group announced their break up.

This is an EP that came out in 1991 on Feel Good All Over and has since been re-released on Simple Machines. Every song is a vinegar tornado of guitars and heartbreak plus an outstanding cover of Cheap Trick’s “High Roller” (and weirdly Paula Abdul’s “Cold Hearted Snake”).

Scrawl were a band from Columbus, Ohio. The founding members were Marcy Mays (vocals and guitar), Sue Harshe (bass guitar), and Carolyn O’Leary (drums). Their first show, in the summer of 1985, was a 20-minute opening spot for the Meat Puppets. Drummer Carolyn O’ Leary left the group in May 1992, and was replaced by Dana Marshall.

Frightwig is American slang used to denote a woman whose appearance is disheveled; she is unruly, perhaps under the influence and she doesn’t give a damn They were located in San Francisco, California. Though they predated the riot grrl movement, they have a similar approach and were influential to its development. For example, they were known for inviting a male audience member on stage to “dance” during the song “A Man’s Gotta Do What a Man’s Gotta Do” and thereby publicly ridiculing him. Frightwig was composed of Cecilia Lynch, Deanna Ashley, Mia Levin, Megan Page, and Rebecca Tucker. During Frightwig’s influential history they had many line up changes.

This is their eleventh studio album, released on Wacken Records in 2008. This album celebrates the 30th anniversary of Girlschool, making it the longest running all-female metal band in activity. A few musicians that the band befriended in the many years of incessant touring, lent a hand in completing the recording. Former guitarist Kelly Johnson, deceased in 2007, contributed with her spiritual presence to the work. The song "Legend" is dedicated to her.

This is their eighth studio album, eleased on Communiqué Records and Progressive International in 1992. It is the fourth and last studio album recorded with lead guitarist Cris Bonacci and the only one with bassist Jackie Carrera. It is also the first Girlschool album to by self-produced for an independent British label. The album was going to be called No Bollocks! But in the end they decided to call it simply Girlschool because they realized they'd never used the name of the band as a title before.

Talk to Animals compliments her moody, beat-driven 8-bit & lo-fi soundscapes with a range of vocal styles. The resulting music is alternately frenzied, melodic, fierce and serene, always with an unstoppable energy, as precise as it is punk. Talk to Animals is an electro project by Texas-native Aimee. She started Talk to Animals in 2006 as a side-project while she was still doing 1-800-ZOMBIE.She describes her project as "lo-fi punk-inspired baroque pop via 8-bit technology with the aesthetic of surf goth."

The Red Aunts formed in 1991 in Long Beach, California by guitarist/vocalist Terri Wahl. She recruited two of her friends, lead vocalist/guitarist Kerry Davis and bassist Debi Martini — who, like her, had never before been in a band or received formal musical training. Learning to play was a collective process, but it didn’t take too long for the band to become comfortable enough to issue two 7” indie singles, with Jon Wahl in tow as a drummer of convenience (under the alias Joan Whale). He was subsequently replaced full-time by Lesley Noelle. The Red Aunts rapidly developed their own sound, going from raw simple punk to more complicated garage-punk-blues within the space of their seven years and five full length albums. The inevitable rock-star ego-tripping and feuds with other bands and punk magazines somewhat diminished their stature in Los Angeles and they disbanded in 1998.

This is the third full length album by the Red Aunts. It was released in 1995 on Epitaph. Contains 14 tracks of thrashing noiserock. Produced by “big daddy” Brett Gurewitz, Epitaph/Bad Religion founder.

This is their seventh studio album, released by GWR Records in 1988. It is the first album to feature Tracey Lamb on bass, replacing Gil Weston-Jones. The album was produced by Monty Python's collaborator André Jacquemin at Redwood Studios.

Released in 2011 on Wallace Records and Basement City Records. Eight heavy and doomy songs, a mix of sludge, noise, doom, punk played by just one distorted bass and powerful drums. On this record Agatha's sound takes a heavier direction, with growl voices, screams and big bass chords. The LP comes out with a beautiful shaped watercolor artwork, painted by acclaimed italian tattoo artist Pietro Sedda and photo shots by ELena Buscemi.

is the sixth studio album by Girlschool, released on GWR Records in 1986. Under the direction of producer Vic Maile, this album marks the return of the band to the sound of their earlier works and to a four-piece formation. All tracks were composed by the four musicians, except for Mud's cover "Tiger Feet".

This is the fifth studio album by the Girlschool, released on Mercury Records in 1985. It is the only studio work released as a five-piece group after singer and lead guitarist Kelly Johnson had left the band. Vocals duties on the album are shared by Jackie Bodimead and Kim McAuliffe. Running Wild was released only in America and presents a more commercial sound than Girlschool's early albums, to satisfy the taste of an audience used to the sound of FM AOR and glam rock. It was produced by Nick Tauber. The song "Do You Love Me?" is a Kiss cover.

Pink Champagne (first named Kasern 9) was a Swedish feminist punk band in the 1980s. It consisted of four women, Stina Berge (drums), Ann Carlberger (vocals), Karin Jansson (guitar) and Gunilla Welin (bass). Kajsa Grytt was briefly a member. They released two full-length albums under the MNW label before breaking up in 1984.

Painkillers is the second EP recorded by Babes in Toyland. It consists of a re-recording "He's My Thing", outtakes from Fontanelle, and a live version of the tracks from Fontanelle, titled "Fontanellette". It was produced mainly by Jack Endino and Kat Bjelland, and released 22 June 1993 by Reprise Records.

To Mother is the first EP recorded by Babes in Toyland consisting of the outtakes from the previous release Spanking Machine, but was rerecorded in Europe after their tour with Sonic Youth. It was produced by John Loder, and released 3 August 1991 by Twin/Tone Records.

This is their fourth and final regular studio album, released in 1978. It was not released in the United States until 1981, when Rhino Records issued it under the title Little Lost Girls, with a different cover photo and a different sequence of the songs. During the recording of the album, Vicki Blue left the band and the bass lines on the tracks are actually played by Lita Ford.

Their third studio album, released in 1977. This is the first album to feature the group as a quartet, as rhythm guitarist Joan Jett took over lead vocals in the wake of the departure of Cherie Currie for a solo career and Vicki Blue (aka Victory Tischler-Blue) replaced Jackie Fox on bass.

The Runaways were an American teenage rock band that recorded and performed in the second half of the 1970s. Despite the apparent “jailbait on the run” gimmick, the girls in the band were proficient at playing their instruments and wrote or co-wrote most of the band’s material and, as later became obvious, were serious about their music. The Runaways made five albums and went through several personnel changes. The band broke up in 1979. The Runaways paved the way for female oriented punk bands like X-Ray Spex, Bikini Kill and The Donnas.

about

This is a blog featuring all-female bands only.

I started this because sometimes it's really hard to find music of all-female bands and I'd decided to share what I've collected so far with others and in this way kind of contribute to the all-female music sceene. The second reason is I want to show that women are into every kind of music, from extreme black metal to electronic and they're not worse than men in making music!
